2091 Doomsday Darkness, This Is An Order, I Will Wait For You To Be Back

It had been months since Chu Kuangren fought Jiu Yin. 

The past few months had been quiet, and Yu Yan did not attempt anything else.

The Radiant Church would attack once in a while, but that was it.

It was peaceful and quiet at the Black Flame City.

"Congratulations, Host! You've won a Transcendent-tier treasure, Radiant Seed."

Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised by the newly acquired prize.

The name Radiant Seed alone made him think it was related to the Radiant Church.

He opened it up, but it barely had any introduction. It simply explained that it came from the brightest light and could grant the user the use of its bright power.

Chu Kuangren took it out. 

It was a white ball that was the size of a fist, and it emanated a faint Radiant energy presence. Its surface was also carved with mystical runes.

"Lil Ai, analyze this."

"Right away."

Lil Ai immediately analyzed it with her mystical powers.

Given Lil Ai's current capabilities, she could quickly analyze a Primordial or even Grand Dao cultivator, but it took her some time to analyze the Radiant Seed.

It was proof that the seed was something else.

It must be more valuable than the Transcendent-tier Chaos Green Lotus and Vitality Qi Divine Celestial.

"Master, this item seems to be related to the source."

The source was a mystical and strange topic.

It was said that the Great Hongmeng Universe was the start — the source of all things, and the Dao in this universe contained the origin of all Daos across the Infiniverse.

No one knew where the source came from or when it ended, and anything that was involved with the source must be unusual, just like how the oldest being in the Infiniverse must be somewhat related to the source.

"Can the Radiant Seed be related to the source of the Radiant Dao?" 

Chu Kuangren was curious. 

Before he got an answer, the Radiant Seed entered his body in light form.

"Interesting."

Chu Kuangren studied the Radiant Seed for a while but realized he did not have the power to utilize the energy contained inside.

On second thought, he decided to put it aside. 

He then told Lil Ai to study it and see if it could be useful to him.

"Chu Kuangren, Yu Yan wants to see us." Hei Xuan came up to Chu Kuangren and said.

Chu Kuangren was intrigued. Did Yu Yan finally want to act?

The two of them arrived at a palace.

They saw Yu Yan, but the man looked worried and concerned.

When they got closer, he said, "I have something to discuss with you two."

"What is it?" Hei Xuan said.

Knowing that Yu Yan might have an ill agenda toward the Dark Demonic Ruler, Hei Xuan treated the man with less friendliness.

"The Radiant Church's attack is getting fiercer. In the previous battle, two Bishop levels and more than a hundred Grand Priests attacked. I'm afraid the Black Flame City isn't going to last," he said.

Hei Xuan frowned. "With you and I here, even if they send ten more Bishops, there's nothing for us to worry about."

"Hei Xuan, you have no idea. The Radiant Church's background is unpredictable, and they have been growing rapidly throughout the years. Ever since we lost the Dark Demonic Ruler, the Darkness Tribe has been declining. I hate to admit it, but I'm afraid we will lose this war."

"Let's cut to the chase. What do you want us to do?" Chu Kuangren asked.

He was not interested in Yu Yan's complaints.

"Since Brother Chu has asked, I'll skip the chase. I want the Ruler Amulet."

The atmosphere turned serious when Yu Yan voiced his request.

Hei Xuan reacted grimly to his request. "Yu Yan, are you trying to usurp Chu Kuangren?"

"I didn't mean that. I just need the Ruler Amulet to do something."

"Go on."

Compared to Hei Xuan, Chu Kuangren was much calmer.

"To be honest, Black Flame City houses an extreme Darkness energy underground, and this is the reason why the Radiant Church has been attacking us here. Once this energy is ready, it will threaten the Radiant Church as much as the Ruler himself."

"Nonsense! No Darkness energy in this world is stronger than the Ruler's!" Hei Xuan grumbled.

"The Doomsday Darkness!" Yu Yan said.

The words made Hei Xuan's eyes widen in shock. "The Doomsday Darkness? Impossible! It's just a myth! A legend!"

The Doomsday Darkness was something born from the source of Darkness.

Once it appeared, it would mean doomsday for the Infiniverse as it could cast eternal darkness across universes.

They had heard of the legend of Doomsday Darkness from the Dark Demonic Ruler, but Hei Xuan simply took it as a myth. 

He believed the Dark Demonic Ruler was the strongest Darkness being.

Now, Yu Yan was saying that the Doomsday Darkness was hiding underground in the Black Flame City.

How could it be? 

"Impossible. If the Black Flame City housed the Doomsday Darkness, that Radiant B*tch would have attacked this place ages ago."

"It's because the Doomsday Darkness hidden underground is incomplete. It's just a portion of the original, but if we absorb the energy, we will have the power to rival the Radiant Church. And to do that, I need the Darkness Ruler Amulet."

Yu Yan looked at Chu Kuangren. "It's not easy trying to absorb the Doomsday Darkness's energy. It requires a vessel and must be refined from the Ruler Amulet, which is the darkest item in the world. It's the most suitable vessel to hold the Doomsday Darkness energy."

"I see."

"Please lend me the Ruler Amulet. After that, I will return it to you," Yu Yan said sincerely.

"Master, the palace is surrounded by a dozen Primordial presences and three Grand Dao presences."

Lil Ai suddenly spoke in Chu Kuangren's mind.

Chu Kuangren smirked. He knew that if he rejected Yu Yan's request, the elites would jump on him immediately.

It seemed like Yu Yan had perfect control over the Darkness Tribe.

If the elites from the Darkness Tribe were willing to take orders from him and attack the one who possessed the Darkness Ruler Amulet, it meant that Yu Yan had defied the Dark Demonic Ruler.

It was understandable. After all, the Dark Demonic Ruler had been gone for so long, and his reputation was no longer helpful.

"Please hold on. I'm analyzing their stats and plotting the best retreat route."

Lil Ai believed escaping would be the best option since fighting them would be disastrous. 

However, Chu Kuangren chuckled to himself and said, "No need to plot any escape route. I know what I'm going to do."

He took the Ruler Amulet out and said, "I can give you the Ruler Amulet, but I'd like to retrieve the Doomsday Darkness with you."

"Uh…" 

Yu Yan was hesitant. "We need people defending the city, and I planned for you two to stay here."

"You can have Hei Xuan stay back."

"Are you coming with me alone?" Yu Yan was intrigued by Chu Kuangren's suggestion.

"Yes."

"Very well."

Yu Yan swiftly agreed.

Hei Xuan, however, was worried. "No. I'm coming along as well."

If Yu Yan had a hidden agenda, Chu Kuangren would be in danger.

"You stay here and defend the city. This is an order!" Chu Kuangren said firmly.

Deterred, Hei Xuan took a deep breath and said, "In that case, I'll wait for you to come back."
